Crypto exchange Binance is reportedly set to acquire crypto data marketplace CoinMarketCap. The deal is estimated to be worth up to $400 million.
According to a report from The Block, Binance is in the final stages of making the deal happen, which will be announced later this week.
Crypto exchange Binance today announced it has acquired DappReview, a Beijing-based data analytics platform for decentralized applications. This becomes Binance’s fourth acquisition, according to data from Crunchbase—alongside investments it has made with its venture capital arm Binance Labs. Let’s take a look back at what the crypto exchange is planning. Here are all the companies now in Binance’s empire. DappReview DappReview, founded in February 2018, provides insight into over 3,900 dapps to...
This will be Binance's fifth major acquisition, according to data from Crunchbase. It owns DappReview, a Beijing-based data analytics platform for decentralized applications, Indian crypto exchange WazirX, JEX, a crypto exchange for futures and derivatives trading, and Trust Wallet, a mobile cryptocurrency wallet. It has also invested in Mars Finance, a news agency based in China.
CoinMarketCap is one of the most popular sources of crypto data in the industry. Despite concerns that it features exchanges that are known for having high levels of wash trading, the site is visited by 37 million users a month, according to SimilarWeb.
But the anticipated deal poses tough questions for the neutrality of CoinMarketCap.
With Binance as one of the biggest crypto exchanges, and CoinMarketCap, the biggest data source for the crypto industry, the potential acquistion could make the industry more centralized.
Jonathan Leong, co-founder & CEO of BTSE exchange, told Decrypt, "If Binance controls the most well known third party tool used by users around the world, this is clearly a strong conflict of interest."
NEW YORK—Not too long ago, I was shacked up in a cheap hostel, in Manhattan. The window was open to counteract the heat of the stiff radiator, which couldn’t be turned off on a hot day in May. My colleague was nowhere to be seen and I’d just received a shocking message about Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world. That afternoon, the exchange had been hacked. It had lost 7,000 Bitcoin, which was then worth a staggering $40 million. Crypto exchange hacks are all too common in this worl...
Other commentators were similarly worried. "Personally, I am always sceptical of any deal that can in any way affect the 'neutrality' of any reporting system where one party (even potentially) has an interest in that system as here, especially as I'm not even entirely clear what they stand to gain precisely," Jason Deane, analyst at Quantum Economics, told Decrypt, "Perhaps I need more information on the intricacies of this and what the objectives are, but my initial reaction would be caution and scepticism."
On Twitter, the response was also skeptical. "Who would ever trust CoinMarketCap after this, doesnt make sense. A stake from Binance might likely work better than an acquisition, just defeats the purpose of having a balanced and neutral index aggregator," wrote Eugene Ng, head of sales at Matrixport and former trader at Deutsche Bank.

He wasn't alone. "I don't see this as a good thing either. Coinmarketcap is an independent listings website. Binance could skew data and ads on the platform towards their own token and IEO's," wrote Jeroen Hesp, business development manager at Citizen.
At the end of the day, the key issue is transparency. And for an exchange that appears to have no headquarters, this is twice as important.
Formula 1 has renewed its partnership with exchange platform Crypto.com, extending the agreement through 2030 as both entities seek to capitalize on their shared momentum. The renewed partnership will see Crypto.com continue to feature prominently at key Formula 1 events, including the Miami Grand Prix, where it has been the title sponsor since the race’s inception in 2022. The deal, first inked in 2021, marked Formula 1’s foray into the crypto world at a time when digital assets were experienc...
Mo Shaikh, a co-creator of the Aptos blockchain and co-founder and CEO of the Aptos Labs firm that helps support it, announced Thursday that he's leaving the company to focus on a "new chapter." "Today, I am stepping away from Aptos Labs to start a new chapter," Shaikh wrote on X. "One of my true passions lies in building companies from the ground up, and we have done that at Aptos Labs by building a world-class team." "I leave Aptos Labs with the utmost confidence in the team," he continued, "a...
Building on the momentum of anticipated changes to U.S. crypto policy, Binance.US said it aims to restore its USD services in early 2025, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. It marks the exchange's first major operational shift as regulatory pressure forced the exchange to suspend fiat trading last year. The platform has operated under restricted banking access since June 2023, when SEC civil claims triggered a suspension of dollar deposits and withdrawals. "While I can't provide a de...
